Surface Skimming Lake Animation, American Hydrofoil's exclusive Surface Skimming technology.

In this animation, the hydrofoil wings ride on top of the surface of the water with a slight up-and-down movement (of the hydrofoil wings) owing to our exclusive patented Vertical Dampening technology.

 

 

 

For about 75% of the time, the hydrofoil wings are on top of the surface of the water.  For the remaining 25% of the time, the hydrofoil wings are below the surface of the water.

 

The hydrofoil wings are under the surface of the water for a split second owing to our "aircraft like" design of the wing's upper surface, which creates an enormous upward force on the underside of the hydrofoils, instantly returning them back on top of the surface of the water.
